Dogs and cats are both popular pets. Dogs provide companionship, loyalty, and can be trained to do many tasks. They require daily exercise and mental stimulation. Cats are also loyal and loving, and can be easier to care for since they are often less reliant on humans for entertainment. They are more independent, but can also be playful and responsive. Both dogs and cats can be wonderful and rewarding pets.
